TRANSLATION
The priest named Balarāma Ācārya also chastised Gopāla Cakravartī. "You are a foolish logician," he said. "What do you know about the devotional service of the Lord?
PURPORT
The philosophy enunciated by the Māyāvādīs is called ghaṭa-paṭiyā ("pot-and-earth") philosophy. According to this philosophy, everything is one. Such philosophers see no distinction between a pot made of earth and the earth itself, reasoning that anything made of earth, such as different pots, is also the same earth. Since Gopāla Cakravartī was a ghaṭa-paṭiyā logician, a gross materialist, what could he understand about the transcendental devotional service of the Lord?
